Daylighting

A few days ago my family went to Logan airport. We learned about a new way to save energy called daylighting. It is a concept that if you lower the lights inside when it is brighter and raise them when it is darker, then you will save a lot of energy. Another way people use daylight is they put windows in strategic places to have day light be the substitute for energy draining light bulbs. This idea is very smart and would not be too hard for you to do! At Logan airport, they have lots of windows and skylights and the lights dim automatically when it is bright outside, saving so much energy and money for Massport. How cool is that? -Liam
